Descrição
Resumo:A myth is a narration of an original past time, precursor of all times, in which we can find the models and examples that determine and give meaning to life. Having accompanied man since the beginnings of mankind, myth is rooted in human behavior, symbolically explaining human and natural facts. Following an earlier work in which we seek to understand ontologically the myth social function and the establishment of mythology as a science, we now intend to understand its social and symbolic importance since myth was established as a science until to the present. Keywords: Myth. Mythology. Social imaginary. Symbolic representations. Human societies
